Big Book of Benefits and Mental Health 2017-18

After a big year for changes last time, we were looking forward to gentle updating and our earliest ever availability for the new 17th edition . But late changes to PIP points, a newย PIP2 form and more evidence emerging for re-opened enquiries into the coaolition of chaos and confusion in UC Full Service areas – strong and stable it ain’t ๐Ÿ™‚ – all meant we were writing and checking into the wee small hours again.

Publication will now be in May and we will post again to confirm copies are on the shelves. Next year, we will sharpen our quills earlier :-).

So welcome to our new baby as presses roll. 405 pages of fully updated friendly information, practical tools and resources, example forms and supporting letters right through to appeal submissions and usedul case law. The Price is held at last years ยฃ25 +p&p
